TIDA Kitchen Awards Finalist 2020

The owners had lived in the original 1970’s John Scott house, later altered by Simon Pirie, for over 20 years and still loved it.  The previous kitchen had worn out over the years but the original teak bench tops were still in a good condition and could be refurbished.  Laustsen Cabinetmakers did a wonderful job of lovingly restoring them to a new life.

The owners love the 1960’s-1970’s aesthetic and wanted a kitchen that would suit the house well. Their house is full of life and history, they have a lot of art works and objects collected over the years and wanted a kitchen which can display some of it.

The materials were chosen for their natural look and longevity. The innovative coloured mdf is moisture resistant, it has the colour all the way through and a clear lacquer was applied. Reeded glass adds lightness and texture as well as helps to kept things tidy.

The design intention was to make the kitchen fit into the existing house as if it has always been there. Our clients love how well it fits in with the original design and complements their unique style.

About the
Professional

Studio A is a design-oriented Auckland-based architecture practice founded by Adriana Toader, a registered architect with 20 years of professional experience in NZ and overseas. “We are passionate about design and always strive for that point of perfect harmony where the client’s brief meets a well-executed idea.”

We are happy to be involved in projects of all sizes, from alterations to new houses & small commercial projects, including interiors. Each project is unique and we enjoy the process of working collaboratively with our clients.

With extensive experience in interiors including kitchen and bathroom design, we create spaces thoughtfully tailored to your needs.

Working with the latest software allows us to build detailed 3D models of our designs and present these together with realistic 3d renders.

We are involved in all stages of the process, from feasibility studies to design and documentation, the Resource Consent and Building Consent processes, through to site observation/contract administration services during construction. These services are tailored for each project, depending on client requirements.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
